42 EUCALYPTUS. 



In passing to other species we may leave the Eucalyp- 

 tus globulus with this statement: 



It accommodates itself to more conditions in a satisfac- 

 tory way than any other Eucalyptus. Yet there is no one 

 condition for which some other species of this genus is not 

 better adapted. So also there is no use to which the blue 

 gum is put for which another species is not more service- 

 able. 



The blue gum is a jack-of-all-trades tree. 



A fine specimen of a single Eucalyptus globulus is to 

 be seen on the Banning estate at Wilmington, Los Angeles 

 County, California. There is in another form a fine single 

 tree at Mr. Rosenbaum's garden, Pasadena, and still another 

 type in the L. J. Rose Company's garden, San Gabriel. A 

 fine old roadside effect of these trees may be seen near the 

 East San Gabriel Hotel. The growth and appearance of 

 the blue gum in groves is well illustrated at and about 

 Nadeau Station, south of the city limits of Los Angeles. 



EUCALYPTUS NARGINATA, 



My experiments at Santa Monica together with those at 

 the old forestry station show that all the important species 

 do well at that point except the jarrah, Eucalyptus margi- 

 nata. This valuable tree is not only slow in growth but 

 appears to have a tendency to foliage disease. Part of the 

 trouble is probably caused by a fungus. The outer edge of 

 the leaves commence to die during the winter or rainy 

 season. Eucalyptus obliqua is also slow and unsatisfactory 

 at Santa Monica. This is the par excellence stringy bark 

 of Tasmania and Victoria. This tree does well, however,
